A Front End Engineer’s Manifesto

Every Front End Engineer should read and follow this Manifesto by Zach Leatherman.

Watched.li Show-Tile

As you might know Philipp, Marcel and me are working on the new watched.li, a service to track the shows you are watching.
Marcel already did most of the Design work and I’m currently putting together the Front End. To try CodePen a little bit more I put a small part of my current watched.li work online as a Pen. You can see one Show-Tile where you can mark shows as seen and unseen. The standard overview in your watched.li account will consist of these tiles.

I wanted to embed the example here, but the code I get from CodePen doesn’t seem to work, so just head over there, have a look and feel free to follow me: http://codepen.io/martinwolf/pen/watchedli-show-tile/

CodePen, the dribbble for Front-End Developers?

CodePen is all about front end code inspiration, education, and sharing. Enter HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and the combined result is displayed below. This is extremely useful for showing off demos, troubleshooting, demonstrating bugs, or anything else you can think of.

CodePen is a service which went into public beta today. The founders are Chris Coyier, Alex Vazquez and Tim Sabat. It’s kind of like jsfiddle, but with a social touch. This could turn out to be really cool.
Biggest problem for me at the moment is, that I really don’t like the design. But let’s see how Codepen evolves. You can find my profile here: http://codepen.io/martinwolf
